이사야 14

1여호와께서 야곱을 긍휼히 여기시며 이스라엘을 다시 택하여 자기 고토에 두시리니 나그네 된 자가 야곱 족속에게 가입되어 그들과 연합할 것이며 2민족들이 그들을 데리고 그들의 본토에 돌아오리니 이스라엘 족속이 어호와의 땅에서 그들을 얻어 노비를 삼겠고 전에 자기를 사로잡던 자를 사로잡고 자기를 압제하던 자를 주관하리라 3여호와께서 너를 슬픔과 곤고와 및 너의 수고하는 고역에서 놓으시고 안식을 주시는 날에 4너는 바벨론 왕에 대하여 이 노래를 지어 이르기를 학대하던 자가 어찌 그리 그쳤으며 강포한 성이 어찌 그리 폐하였는고 5여호와께서 악인의 몽둥이와 패권자의 홀을 꺾으셨도다 6그들이 분내어 여러 민족을 치되 치기를 마지 아니하였고 노하여 열방을 억압하여도 그 억압을 막을 자 없었더니 7이제는 온 땅이 평안하고 정온하니 무리가 소리질러 노래하는도다 8향나무와 레바논 백향목도 너로 인하여 기뻐하여 이르기를 네가 넘어뜨리웠은즉 올라와서 우리를 작벌할 자 없다 하는도다 9아래의 음부가 너로 인하여 소동하여 너의 옴을 영접하되 그것이 세상에서의 모든 영웅을 너로 인하여 동하게 하며 열방의 모든 왕으로 그 보좌에서 일어서게 하므로 10그들은 다 네게 말하여 이르기를 너도 우리 같이 연약하게 되었느냐 너도 우리 같이 되었느냐 하리로다 11네 영화가 음부에 떨어졌음이여 너의 비파 소리까지로다 구더기가 네 아래 깔림이여 지렁이가 너를 덮었도다 12너 아침의 아들 계명성이여 어찌 그리 하늘에서 떨어졌으며 너 열국을 엎은 자여 어찌 그리 땅에 찍혔는고 13네가 네 마음에 이르기를 내가 하늘에 올라 하나님의 뭇별 위에 나의 보좌를 높이리라 내가 북극 집회의 산 위에 좌정하리라 14가장 높은 구름에 올라 지극히 높은 자와 비기리라 하도다 15그러나 이제 네가 음부 곧 구덩이의 맨 밑에 빠치우리로다 16너를 보는 자가 주목하여 너를 자세히 살펴 보며 말하기를 이 사람이 땅을 진동시키며 열국을 경동시키며 17세계를 황무케 하며 성읍을 파괴하며 사로잡힌 자를 그 집으로 놓아 보내지 않던 자가 아니뇨 하리로다 18열방의 왕들은 모두 각각 자기 집에서 영광 중에 자건마는 19오직 너는 자기 무덤에서 내어쫓겼으니 가증한 나무가지 같고 칼에 찔려 돌구덩이에 빠진 주검에 둘러싸였으니 밟힌 시체와 같도다 20네가 자기 땅을 망케 하였고 자기 백성을 죽였으므로 그들과 일반으로 안장함을 얻지 못하나니 악을 행하는 자의 후손은 영영히 이름이 나지 못하리로다 21너희는 그들의 열조의 죄악을 인하여 그 자손 도륙하기를 예비하여 그들로 일어나 땅을 취하여 세상에 성읍을 충만케 하지 못하게 하라 22만군의 여호와께서 말씀하시되 내가 일어나 그들을 쳐서 그 이름과 남은 자와 아들과 후손을 바벨론에서 끊으리라 나 여호와의 말이니라 23내가 또 그것으로 고슴도치의 굴혈과 물웅덩이가 되게 하고 또 멸망의 비로 소제하리라 나 만군의 여호와의 말이니라 24만군의 여호와께서 맹세하여 가라사대 나의 생각한 것이 반드시 되며 나의 경영한 것이 반드시 이루리라 25내가 앗수르 사람을 나의 땅에서 파하며 나의 산에서 발아래 밟으리니 그 때에 그의 멍에가 이스라엘에게서 떠나고 그의 짐이 그들의 어깨에서 벗어질 것이라 26이것이 온 세계를 향하여 정한 경영이며 이것이 열방을 향하여 편 손이라 하셨나니 27만군의 여호와께서 경영하셨은즉 누가 능히 그것을 폐하며 그 손을 펴셨은즉 누가 능히 그것을 돌이키랴 28아하스 왕의 죽던 해에 받은 경고라 29블레셋 온 땅이여 너를 치던 막대기가 부러졌다고 기뻐하지 말라 뱀의 뿌리에서는 독사가 나겠고 그 열매는 나는 불뱀이 되리라 30가난한 자의 장자는 먹겠고 빈핍한 자는 평안히 누우려니와 내가 너의 뿌리를 기근으로 죽일 것이요 너의 남은 자는 살륙을 당하리라 31성문이여 슬피 울지어다 성읍이여 부르짖을지어다 너 블레셋이여 다 소멸되게 되었도다 대저 연기가 북방에서 오는데 그 항오를 떨어져 행하는 자 없느니라 32그 나라 사신들에게 어떻게 대답하겠느냐 여호와께서 시온을 세우셨으니 그의 백성의 곤고한 자들이 그 안에서 피난하리라 할 것이니라

1For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob. 2The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 3It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve, 4that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!” 5Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, 6who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained. 7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song. 8Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.” 9Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?” 11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. 12How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! 13You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north! 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!” 15Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit. 16Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms; 17who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?” 18All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house. 19But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot. 20You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The seed of evildoers will not be named forever. 21Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities. 22“I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh. 23“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Yahweh of Armies. 24Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 25that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders. 26This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?” 28This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died. 29Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent. 30The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed. 31Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks. 32What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

1Want de HEERE zal Zich over Jakob ontfermen, en Hij zal Israel nog verkiezen, en Hij zal hen in hun land zetten; en de vreemdeling zal zich tot hen vervoegen, en zij zullen het huis van Jakob aanhangen. 2En de volken zullen hen aannemen, en in hun plaats brengen; en het huis Israels zal hen erfelijk bezitten in het land des HEEREN tot knechten en tot maagden; en zij zullen gevangen houden degenen, die hen gevangen hielden, en zij zullen heersen over hun drijvers. 3En het zal geschieden ten dage, wanneer u de HEERE rust geven zal van uw smart, en van uw beroering, en van de harde dienstbaarheid, waarin men u heeft doen dienen; 4Dan zult gij deze spreuk opnemen tegen den koning van Babel, en zeggen: Hoe houdt de drijver op? Hoe houdt de goudene op? 5De HEERE heeft den stok der goddelozen gebroken, den scepter der heersers. 6Die de volken plaagde in verbolgenheid met een plaag zonder ophouden, die in toorn over de heidenen heerste, die wordt vervolgd, zonder dat het iemand afweren kan. 7De ganse aarde rust, zij is stil; zij maken groot geschal met gejuich. 8Ook verheugen zich de dennen over u, en de cederen van Libanon, zeggende: Sinds dat gij daar nederligt, komt niemand tegen ons op, die ons afhouwe. 9De hel van onderen was beroerd om uwentwil, om u tegemoet te gaan, als gij kwaamt; zij wekt om uwentwil de doden op, al de bokken der aarde; zij doet al de koningen der heidenen van hun tronen opstaan. 10Die altegader zullen antwoorden, en tot u zeggen: Gij zijt ook krank geworden, gelijk wij, gij zijt ons gelijk geworden. 11Uw hovaardij is in de hel nedergestort, met het geklank uwer luiten; de maden zullen onder u gestrooid worden, en de wormen zullen u bedekken. 12Hoe zijt gij uit den hemel gevallen, o morgenster, gij zoon des dageraads! hoe zijt gij ter aarde nedergehouwen, gij, die de heidenen krenktet! 13En zeidet in uw hart: Ik zal ten hemel opklimmen, ik zal mijn troon boven de sterren Gods verhogen; en ik zal mij zetten op den berg der samenkomst aan de zijden van het noorden. 14Ik zal boven de hoogten der wolken klimmen, ik zal den Allerhoogste gelijk worden. 15Ja, in de hel zult gij nedergestoten worden, aan de zijden van den kuil! 16Die u zien zullen, zullen u aanschouwen, zij zullen op u letten, en zeggen: Is dat die man, die de aarde beroerde, die de koninkrijken deed beven? 17Die de wereld als een woestijn stelde, en derzelver steden verstoorde, die zijn gevangenen niet liet los gaan naar huis toe? 18Al de koningen der heidenen, zij allen liggen neder met eer, een iegelijk in zijn huis; 19Maar gij zijt verworpen van uw graf, als een gruwelijke scheut, als een kleed der gedoden, die met het zwaard doorstoken zijn; als die nederdalen in een steenkuil, als een vertreden dood lichaam. 20Gij zult bij dezelve niet gevoegd worden in de begrafenis; want gij hebt uw land verdorven, en uw volk gedood; het zaad der boosdoeners zal in der eeuwigheid niet genoemd worden. 21Maakt de slachting voor zijn kinderen gereed, om hunner vaderen ongerechtigheid wil; dat zij niet opstaan, en de aarde erven, en de wereld vervullen met steden; 22Want Ik zal tegen hen opstaan, spreekt de HEERE der heirscharen, en Ik zal van Babel uitroeien den naam en het overblijfsel, en den zoon en den zoonszoon, spreekt de HEERE. 23En Ik zal hen stellen tot een erve der nachtuilen, en tot waterpoelen; en Ik zal hen met een bezem des verderfs uitvagen, spreekt de HEERE der heirscharen. 24De HEERE der heirscharen heeft gezworen, zeggende: Indien niet, gelijk Ik gedacht heb, het alzo geschiede, en gelijk Ik beraadslaagd heb, het bestaan zal! 25Dat Ik Assur in Mijn land zal verbreken, en hem op Mijn bergen vertreden; opdat zijn juk van hen afwijke, en zijn last van hun schouder wijke. 26Dit is de raadslag, die beraadslaagd is over dat ganse land; en dit is de hand, die uitgestrekt is over alle volken. 27Want de HEERE der heirscharen heeft het in Zijn raad besloten, wie zal het dan breken? en Zijn hand is uitgestrekt, wie zal ze dan keren? 28In het jaar, toen de koning Achaz stierf, geschiedde deze last. 29Verheug u niet, gij gans Palestina! dat de roede die u sloeg, gebroken is; want uit de wortel der slang zal een basilisk voortkomen, en haar vrucht zal een vurige vliegende draak zijn. 30En de eerstgeborenen der armen zullen weiden, en de nooddruftigen zullen zeker nederliggen; uw wortel daarentegen zal Ik door den honger doden, en uw overblijfsel zal hij ombrengen. 31Huil, gij poort, schreeuw, gij stad! gij zijt gesmolten, gij gans Palestina! want van het noorden komt een rook, en er is geen eenzame in zijn samenkomsten. 32Wat zal men dan antwoorden den boden des volks? Dat de HEERE Sion gegrond heeft, opdat de bedrukten Zijns volks een toevlucht daarin hebben zouden.
